A First Investigation into the Use of Differential Somatic Cell Count as a Predictor of Udder Health in Sheep [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Differential somatic cell count (DSCC), the percentage of somatic cell count (SCC) due to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and lymphocytes (LYMs), is a promising effective diagnostic marker for dairy animals with infected mammary glands. Well-explored
